> [@Aspenglow](#): > > _A Room With a View_. The full frontal nudity scene of the village vicar cavorting with the younger boys in a totally non-sexual way in the swimming hole, just letting go and succumbing to the simple joy of the moment, humanized him in a wonderful way. > > Maybe my all-time favorite film ever. Seconded! Here’s the scene: [A Room With a View 1985 - bathing scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKbBwrsEV5A) (Watch till the ladies come strolling by towards the end.) ---

_The Naked Prey_ - Literally in the title _Vanishing Point_ - The girl on the motorcycle, exuding innocence and sexuality. _Walkabout_ - Jenny Augutter - First swimming alone in the pond, then with The Boy and Her Brother at the end. Almost any movie by Korean director Kim Ki Duk. Note: A common theme of his films is that his characters have no proper names. _The Bow_ - The Old Man giving The Girl a bath _Samaritan Girl_ - Yeo Jin and Jae Yeong in the bathhouse _Sping, Summer, Fall, Winter…Spring_ - The Disciple and The Woman \*The Isle \* - The Woman in the water at the end _Address Unknown_ - Chan Kook giving his mother a bath and then cutting off the tattoo from her breast. ---

> [@Roderick\_Femm](#): > > A 1976 Japanese movie (that could not be shown unedited in Japan) called “In the Realm of the Senses,” which told a supposedly true story about an obsessive sexual relationship before WWII, had not only full frontal nudity of both sexes, but actual sex acts on screen. It was not pornography (no close-ups, for one thing) but it did have a tough time getting shown in some parts of the world. Although the story could have been told less graphically, the nudity and sex was pretty much the entire story. > > One bit of hypocrisy and irony in the Japanese movie biz: the lead actor, Tatsuya Fuji, suffered no ill effects on his career from this film, even though we saw his willy both soft and hard, and in use, during the film. He is still a busy working actor today. But his leading lady, Eiko Matsuda, was nearly blackballed for her part, and only worked on a few more films, the last one in 1982. She died in 2011. It’s available on pornhub. It’s definitely high brow pornography. I miss 70’s porn. You got everything from thought provoking situations, mind bending ideas, social commentary to comedy to romance and tragedies. These days it’s just a countdown to the anal scene.
